Hi All,   I just found a copy of Modern Japanese sword smiths by John Scott Slough and 2 copies of Japanese Pattern Dirks by Ken Banks.  Both are must have books for the collectors and both are out of print.   Japanese Pattern Dirks by Ken Banks $450 shipping included and paypal fees if applicable   Modern Japanese sword smiths by John Scott Slough $350 plus shipping and paypal fees if applicable.   All 3 books are virtually new.   Let me know if interested,
